The war may end even before all the territories are liberated. So believes the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak.
In his opinion, this can happen, for example, if Ukrainian troops take Lugansk or Donetsk.
In this case, Podolyak says, “irreversible processes” will begin in the Russian elites and society and the understanding will come that the war is lost.
